My Students

My students are busy learners. All of my students are English Language Learners and need ways to explore English in a social and academic setting. Hands-on experiences help all my students expand their language skills in a fun, exciting way.

My enthusiastic language learners are busy striving to do their best every day.

Each brings their own spirit to learn a new language and culture to our classroom, which enriches our learning. Their range of abilities varies from newcomers to proficient learners. Their parents are working hard to support them at home, yet sometimes language is a major barrier. Our public school is in an urban environment and hosts a large diversity of cultures.

My Project

Learning basic sight words is essential to a young reader! My English Language Learners sometimes struggle with sight words as they are not able to phonetically sound them out.

Mastering their sight words is critical to the development of their reading fluency and comprehension.

The Sight Word Journals will provide them a resource to use at home to practice their words. The center will be used during choice time to allow interactive learning, which my students really engage in.

Every year, we have new students join our school family, and they need extra support in their language development. Using the phonic journals will give them the extra support at home to reinforce our daily learning.
